Nintendo discontinues 3DS production in Japan

I'm more surprised to learn they kept making them all this time

The switch hardware will follow suit too maybe after 7-10 years, it's just a cycle

favorite 3DS game/memory

For me it has to be smash 4, and Mario kart 7, even though i lost my copy of smash 4, i at least have ultimate now and Mario kart 7 came with my new 2ds xl

Nintendo was out of touch with streetpass. It barely functioned for those in the boondocks.

Oh man this is sad. The 3DS was my favorite Monster Hunter machine, even though I've probably played more MHGU on the Switch at this point.

EDIT: One thing I won't miss to be totally honest is that slippery joystick.

It is nice knowing you, 3DS.

Ev1lbl0w · Sep 17, 2020

Well... It's finally official.

Goodbye 3DS, we had fun times.

da 3DS effect was amazing ... more than a tablet gaming (switch)

MilesTheCreator · Sep 17, 2020

This handheld.. I'll really miss it for sure.

I had many good memories with it, from playing pre-installed games to chatting with friends in Swapnote, to playing online with MK7 and Smash.

Heck, the homebrew scene is what got me to sign up to GBATemp.

Rest in peace Nintendo 3DS..

(at least until they close eshop and online and it'll be dead for sure)

Thrilling times, saudades

F

Never owned one since nintendo has never been popular in where i live (tho at least switch is more or less getting recognized lately), always wanted new 3ds xl, never got around collecting enough money to buy it.

Urbanshadow · Sep 17, 2020

Being the owner of five of them and having had the time of my life in this forum and IRC/Discord channels on cfw and hombrews in general for the system, this announcement fills me with sadness.

Aletron9000 · Sep 17, 2020

The 3DS was one of the first gaming systems I ever got an exploit to work on and the start of homebrew for me. Lot of good memories with my 3DS. But, I knew it was going to happen soon with no new games and the popularity of the Switch.

Almost a decade. Not bad at all.

I got my 3ds after getting a switch, same year in 2017. a top IPS n3dsxl, then last year I got a dual IPS n3ds and n3ds xl. so many good games on sale, with a lower msrp to boot

I had more fun with it, with a vast library when switch's was slim. still think the switch cow is being milked extra hard and hope that changes one day but dont see it happening any time soon with how well its doing

...and it has physical DS backwards compatibility, and can load GBA since it has the cpu for that too. its an absolute beast glad I didnt skip out on it.

I even may be of the minority on this one, but I think the 3d effect is AWESOME! not a gimmick at all (though that may depend on one's eyes, and even TN vs. iPS not really sure but never understood the hate for this feature or Nintendo wanting to omit it aside from for cost saving measures)

godreborn · Sep 17, 2020

Tales of the abyss is probably my favorite game on the system. I never appreciated the ps2 version, but I've matured since then. I seem to recall the ps2 version having a lot of bugs. lol

I posted this earlier, how dare you steal my front-page

In the wake of this news, what's your favorite 3DS game/memory?

Mmm.... That's a hard one. I'll separate it into three groups:
The game I spent the most time with was Animal Crossing: New Leaf
The game I remember enjoying the most was Mario & Luigi: Dream Team
The game I wanted the most was The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D (did get it and completed it btw)

I hated the fact they shut down Streetpass. I had years saved of "streetpass friends " that was all erased when my first 3ds died.

Nintendo cannot "shut down StreetPass", it's completely independent from online services and is done locally between systems. You're thinking of StreetPass Relay.

Commence switch to replace the handheld market as nintendo are going to need a better home console to keep up with the ps5/xbxsx.

But bet itll be another inferior system, likely beefed up ps4/xbx1 and third parties will finally be able to port all its titles the switch couldnt handle.

It may be lucky to run early next gen titles dumbed down.

But wonder what bs gimmick theyll force to mask the fact its another cheap hardware console.

i can be your sega dreamcast or sega nightmarecast
